President Barack Obama will have around 100 attendees at the White House for this Sunday’s Super Bowl, the Huffington Post reported Thursday.

The guest list includes entertainers Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, as well as a host of elected officials from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, White House staff, family, friends and members of Congress.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett told HuffPo that watching the Super Bowl with Obama, a Chicago Bears fan, will prove “particularly satisfying.”

Obama said he would not choose Super Bowl sides, but visited Penn State University on Thursday and told the crowd, “I’ve got some love for the Steelers.”

The president also visited Manitowoc, Wis. on Jan. 26 and accepted a number of Packers jerseys as gifts.
